Jan Brewer, imperial sun queen of Arizona’s chromatocracy, told the Arizona Republic that her father died fighting Nazis during World War II. The saga is very sad, except its tragedy is somewhat mitigated by the fact that it is extremely untrue. Brewer’s exact statement: “Knowing that my father died fighting the Nazi regime in Germany, that I lost him when I was 11 because of that ... and then to have them call me Hitler's daughter. It hurts. It's ugliness beyond anything I've ever experienced.”
See, The Arizona Guardian points out that Brewer’s father “worked as a civilian supervisor for a naval munitions depot in Hawthorne, Nev. He died of lung disease in 1955 in California.” Obviously this is essentially a semantics issue, retorts Brewer’s spokesperson. Coincidentally, current Connecticut attorney general Dick Blumenthal also died fighting Nazis in a California munitions depot in 1955, and we should have a moment of silence for him too, right now.
